Echelon Architect Interviewed

Posted by Hemos on from the talking-with-the-man dept.

ploog writes "Echelon has been surrounded by controversy since rumors of it first popped up on the net. The US Government has never admitted to it, although various other governments have. Now, a lead architect for Echelon and its "big brother," Echelon II, has been discovered and interviewed. This is fascinating stuff. He is able to give some details about how Echelon works, although he doesn't come divulge everything, for obvious reasons. Trying to deny Echelon just got that much harder. Link found via Megarad.com."

    That the Slashdot editors just assume that we know what it is, and dare not give an inkling about it in the posting.

    hahahaha... bunch of idiot moding today!!!

    Take a look at the two posts here.. this one, which is moded twice as redundant, and the one above it (if you're set for newest first) is moded as 5 informative...

    Bunch of idiots didn't set their threads to show OLDEST first.

    Then you would notice that the other one is redundant.

    Mod me up.. mod me down.. I don't care.. just kick the original moderators in the ass!!!
